I was just pointing out that MLK and Gandhi fought for what they believed in without using violence, and I think their sacrifice was just as noble, if not more so, because it's so difficult to stay on the path of nonviolence when people are attacking you. That said, Pat Tillman is a hero and I'm genuinely sad today, though I didn't even know him.

OK, but I believe the article's intent is this, not that if a person doesn't go to war makes him horrible, just because a person isn't serving now doesn't mean thier horrible, but the refusal to serve your country when called upon whether it be fighting or support, and still enjoy all the abundance of opportunities that it provides, while someone else does the dirty work, and perhap's give's his life so you can enjoy your freedom's, that's is what the quote is saying.
remember, freedom is not free!
